2003 Dimension One Spas and @ Home Hot Tubs

Planning Guide and Installation Manual

Before Delivery

Before attempting to install or use your hot tub, please read these instructions thoroughly, and carefully review the owner’s manual for your Dimension One hot tub!

Because your hot tub is completely self-contained, you can install it just about anywhere you wish . . . on a deck, patio or even indoors. Just be sure to position it above ground, in an area with good drainage and on a level surface that fully contacts the bottom of the hot tub.

Typical Installation Site

A concrete slab is best but not

required. You may choose to install it on a

wood deck or bricks. If you choose to install your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors, we suggest you contact a structural engineer to confirm the surface will hold a hot tub filled with water. Settlement of your deck or slab may result in damage to the hot tub, which is not covered by warranty. (See specifications in this booklet.) Wherever you plan to install your hot tub, be sure the surface is flat and solid. Locate your hot tub so that the equipment is above grade and not subject to flooding. Water should always drain away from the hot tub. If you are placing your hot tub next to an obstacle, such as a fence or wall, be sure that you place the hot tub with the topside primary control panel facing forward for easy equipment access. Locate the vents on the drawing of your particular Dimension One hot tub. This is where cool air will enter and warm air will escape during hot tub operation. Please ensure that these areas are always free of obstructions. Also, allow additional space around the hot tub for any accessories you may have purchased - for example an E-Z Lifter® spa cover lift, steps, or a gazebo. Check with your dealer on these additional space requirements.

Note

In most cities and counties, permits are required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of exterior structures such as decks and gazebos. Some communities have also adopted residential barrier codes that may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a hot tub by young children.

If you install the spa or hot tub indoors, the surrounding area should be waterproof or water resistant. Water may be splashed out during normal usage and when entering or exiting the spa. Dimension One Spas is not responsible for any water damage to any indoor location for any reason.

Dimension One Spas and @Home Hot Tubs are equipped with a locking cover that meets or exceeds the “Standard for Safety Covers,” but is not an adequate safety measure to prevent unsupervised entry. Please check with your local Building Permit Office that can inform you on any special requirements needed for installation of your electrical, decking or required barriers. Your local dealer may also provide you with information on local building and electrical codes.
